Strap for Super Avenger 01 Stainless Steel / Volcano Black / Bracelet

The lug width of the Breitling Avenger AB01901A.BF88.168A is 24 millimetres. This measurement refers to the inner distance between the two lugs of the case where the strap is mounted. It is a rare and distinctive specification found on Breitling's most massive models, requiring straps constructed to precise geometric standards. To measure the lug width accurately, use a digital calliper and position it perpendicularly between the case lugs.

For the Avenger AB01901A.BF88.168A, robust and noble materials are recommended: cognac or jet-black alligator for uncompromising elegance; vegetable-tanned calf leather in dark brown for business contexts; shell cordovan for marine and extreme environments due to its natural water repellency; technical fabric or synthetic rubber straps for sports activities and dusty environments. A deployante buckle in white gold or titanium is the ideal choice, as it distributes pressure evenly and visually synchronises with the case's protective crown.

To change the strap on the Avenger AB01901A.BF88.168A: 1) Position the watch on a soft, stable surface. 2) Use a spring bar removal tool to gently push inward the elastic pin (spring bar) on one side. 3) Remove the old strap from the lug seats. 4) Repeat on the opposite side. 5) Insert the new strap, aligning it with the case lugs. 6) Push the spring bar until it clicks completely into the lug seats.

Leather strap durability depends on material, usage intensity and care. High-quality alligator lasts an average of 4–6 years with daily wear; vegetable-tanned calf resists 2–4 years under normal conditions; shell cordovan, being the most durable material, exceeds 6–7 years even in extreme environments. Prolonged exposure to sweat, salt water and UV rays accelerates ageing. Vegetable-tanned straps develop a fascinating patina during the first year of use. Casati Milano guarantees 18 months on all bespoke straps and provides extraordinary maintenance and regeneration services.
